Developing Patterns and Coherence
Contamination:
Create a 'guaranteed success' area
Directly teach awareness of stress signs and motivators so students learn to take corrective action.
Make spaces for stress release
Improving Memory LInks
Combine movement, emotion, visual aids, and hands-on experiences
Add smell, taste, kinesthetic, tactile, and visual representation to enhance learning
Memory, Memory!!
Retell as you touch the knots on the rope
Move the colored beads as you describe each object
Abstract ideas connected to the concrete!
Cycles of Concentration
noon-2: time to "get moving", computing, singing, & creating
9-11am: optimal for short-term memory
Our daily energy cycles determine when we are at our highs and lows
2-5: time for literature, social studies, sports & drama
Rough Draft
Sense, meaning & repetition move information from working memory to long-term memory
Use multiple pathways for memory
Use graphic organizers when planning
Elaboration
Organize and classify information as a means for remembering
Multiple-intelligences, higher-order thinking processes
Go beyond! Explore, elaborate, Experiment
State-Changes
Be aware of fidgeting, yawning & off task behavior and change it up!
Switch it up: movement - thinking - movement - predicting - movement - summarizing - movement - discussion - movement
Repetition
Episodic memory: explore the subject in different places
procedural memory: hands-on
Emotional memory
Semantic memory: key words, charts, mind maps
Crossovers
Make a physical connection to the thinking
Start big....then move to smaller movement
Use movement along with verbal cues
Themes
Search for and highlight the common big ideas!
Relate everything back to the known
Teach in themes to bring learning together (during reading class, read about science and social studies topics!
